CROSS Excusably, we point with pride to the imposing gentleman whose name adorns the luggage, handbags, gloves and leather accessories you take such pride in using. This is the way he looked some eighty years ago. . . fifteen years after he opened the Mark Cross Saddlery Shop in Boston, in 1845. Y ouJve probably heard many amusing stories about hin1. Son1e say there was no such person. Some say h couldn't write his nalne and marked with a cross. Well, he lnade his mark . . . but he lnade his mark in leather. He had a way with leather that was unexcelled in America. To own a stout saddle or kit bag by Mark W. Cross was the determination of every knowing n1ale in Boston . . . and many commissions had to be fil1ed by post. The fame of Mark Cross leather goods flourished over the years until, by the turn of the century, our workrooms in England and Án1erica were supplying selected stores from coast to coast. If, currently, the store in your city has only a limited choice of Mark Cross luggage and accessories, remember that during the war vast quantities of leather are needed for war materials. Our booklet, 1/ J1Jat tbe LeatlJer YOH Love will Last," tells simple things you can do to give your Mark Cross luggage and accessories extra years of proud and handsome service. Won't you send for it? \ I - t _ RK OR ss FIFTH AVENUE AT 52ND NEW YORK .
